Speaking in Canberra on February 1, CAF AIRMSHL Leo Davies explained the strategy has five vectors for change. “The world is changing, and we must keep pace. Simply having fifth-generation aircraft is not the answer – we will need to evolve the entire Air Force,” AIRMSHL Davies said. “We are acquiring new capabilities, but we also need to harness all the enabling systems if we are to reach the full potential of fifth-generation technologies. “In the future, the information age will be increasingly complex – we must embrace this future.” AIRMSHL Davies said the 10-year strategy outlined five change “vectors” to transition Air Force to a fifth-generation joint force – one that “will prevail against the increasingly complex and lethal threats of warfare in the information age”. “This includes supporting changes to our workforce, increasing our understanding of the force-level implications of our fifth-generation capability, and learning more about Army, Navy and Defence  systems so that we can play our part better,” he said. CAF will officially release the strategy to Defence stakeholders at the Australian International Airshow (February 28 to March 5), but he said it was important that everyone in Air Force knew about it first. “We should all understand the strat- egy, the five change vectors, and how they apply to our daily work priorities. We must energise Jericho and innovation in our strategy, so that everyone can offer ideas on how we might get there. “This is an investment in our future and all of us have a role in Air Force’s transformation to that future.” Of the five vectors, CAF said the capabilities which would require the most work and fundamental cultural changes were joint warfighting and people. “I don’t believe we, as an Air Force, understand how joint we need to be. We have come a long way – we talk a lot about joint, but I’m not sure we are culturally able to shift from doing Air Force stuff first. “I would like Air Force in a joint con- text to begin to put the joint effect before our own Air Force requirements. “I want Army, Navy, APS and other agencies to know intimately what Air Force can do for them.” For CAF’s video and more information visit http://drnet.defence.gov.au/raaf A FIFTH GENERATION FOCUS The Royal Australian Air Force will become a fifth-generation Air Force. A fifth-generation Air Force is a fully-networked force that exploits the combat-multiplier effects of a readily available, integrated and shared battlespace picture to de- liver lethal and non-lethal air power. A fifth-generation Air Force will provide the joint and networked effects necessary to prevail against the increasingly complex and lethal threats of warfare in the information age.
